blocks bonded with four different kinds of resin were applied during the experiment and the data were analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance with the UF resin type as one factor using SPSS statistical software (SPSS version 17.0; IBM, Armonk, NY). The
physical characteristics, that is, their ability to block light, dry quickly, and decompose slowly, contribute more toward weed suppression than the type of mulch being used ( Case et al., 2005 ; Chalker-Scott, 2007 ; Marble et al., 2015 ). In addition to

availability because of climate, high organic matter, low organic decomposition rates, and the soil acidification effects of moss and coniferous canopies ( Bonan and Shugart, 1989 ; Hobbie et al., 2002 ). However, it is unknown if increased fertility during
appropriate weed-control strategy in high tunnels for growers who do not wish to use plastic mulch. High tunnels have been shown to slow decomposition of particulate organic matter relative to the open field ( Knewtson et al., 2012 ) and organic matter levels
analysis. The effects of container type and greenhouse on plant growth (GI, SDW) and quality of plant shoots, roots, and containers were evaluated using analysis of variance ( Table 6 ). Analyses were performed for each species separately using PROC GLM of
of variance (ANOVA) with the Sidak adjustment to maintain an overall α = 0.05. Trial was included in the ANOVA model as a fixed effect, to adjust for any overall trial difference. For shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, and shoot length, variance

as a basal application 1 week after transplanting in all trials. Urea (46N–0P–0K) at the rate of 120 kg·ha −1 was applied as side-dressing 3 weeks after transplanting. Decomposed cow dung was applied at the rate of 2.75 kg·m −2 in the Chambezi
